OTHR$25/hrFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: Overview? Actually we have Starting Rate: $25.00/hour. That's pay info. So we need a Pay section with that. Also we have Overview paragraph. The job title is already shown, we shouldn't repeat it as heading. We need sections for About the role (maybe Overview?), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits? There's no explicit benefits listed besides maybe mission-driven organization? Not specific benefits. So we should not create Benefits unless stated. Schedule not mentioned. So only sections with real content: About the role (maybe "Overview" or "About the role") - we have overview paragraph. Responsibilities list. Qualifications list. Pay section with starting rate. Also maybe "Who We Are" could be About the organization but not required; but we could include as About the role? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use About the role for overview and who we are combined? Probably better: About the role includes overview and who we are? But we have separate "Who We Are" paragraph describing organization. Could be part of About the role or separate section like "About the Organization" not in list. Since only allowed headings are those listed, we should stick to them. So we can put overview in About the role. Who we are could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot drop. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could include in About the role section as prose. That's fine. Responsibilities: list items. Qualifications: list items. Pay: Starting Rate: $25.00/hour. We should not include Requirements (no separate). Skills maybe included in qualifications but we can keep Qualifications. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. At end there is EEO statement; we should drop that. Also remove duplicated lines. Now craft HTML:

About the role

Starting Rate: $25.00/hour ...? Actually pay separate. So About the role paragraph: Overview + Who We Are. Overview: "Starting Rate: $25.00/hour The Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) will provide direct support to individuals with brain injury in the community. This role involves providing therapeutic recreation services designed to enhance physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and financial well-being for individuals with brain injuries and other neurological conditions. The CTRS is responsible for designing an environment that offers therapeutic and recreational activities and assists the Director with a larger focus on guiding the day-to-day operations of the program. They will provide hands-on skills training that fosters growth and independence." Who We Are: "At Advocates, we provide comprehensive services for people facing developmental, mental health, or other life challenges.

      Pay

      Starting Rate: $25.00/hour

      Check duplication: Starting Rate appears twice (in About role and Pay). The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; we could keep it only once in Pay section and not repeat in About role. But About role currently includes Starting Rate sentence; we could remove that from About role to avoid duplication. However we must preserve all substantive information; if we remove it from About role but keep in Pay, it's still preserved. So better to not duplicate. Let's adjust About role paragraph to not include Starting Rate. So About role paragraph will be just the overview and who we are without the Starting Rate line. Thus About role:

      The Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) will provide direct support to individuals with brain injury in the community. This role involves providing therapeutic recreation services designed to enhance physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and financial well-being for individuals with brain injuries and other neurological conditions.
